As first glance, it sounds like good exposure and an intriguing in-between level for those that don't want the full rigor of and FRC build, but if it's hurting outcomes overall that's certainly not a good thing.

While we have an amazing robotics curricular programs (CAD courses, CNC Machining, Programming, Robotics and Engineering), honestly I think are team has been a failure in the last few years. While we have excessive amount of machining resources and funding because we are a robotics school we lack the support for the robotics team from our school to do things like work on weekends. Because we already have a robotics and engineering program are school only keeps us around to promote are robotics classes. All of this has created this weird dynamic as I think are team lacks the passion that other teams have because we are spoiled by to not needing to find sponsors and learn new skills like machining and programming. I also think some students find that once they are marked on something in school it is no longer fun.
